NEW Leeds School of Arts building
Work is currently underway on our new state-of-the-art £80M Leeds School of Arts building which will be home to the Leeds School of Arts, including the Northern Film School. The building is due for completion in September 2020 and will include a range of specialist features, including: a 220-seat Dolby Atmos movie cinema; state-of-the-art TV and film studios; a black box studio; a green screen studio; a stop motion studio; Foley studios; dubbing and music recording studios; and a host of post-production suites.
Studios
At our Prime Studios base we have the North’s largest infinity cove studio, with drive-in vehicle access, green room, changing rooms and make-up stations. At Electric Press, the school’s primary site, we have two purpose-built teaching studios with overhead rig and kit stores.
